Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios has just dropped another substantial patch for its sci-fi co-op shooter, finishing its big push to improve the experience for all players.

The new update is now available for both the PS5 and PC versions of the game, featuring an enormous list of fixes and changes. All of the patch notes can be read through here, or alternatively, the devs go over everything in the above video.

In a nutshell, the latest patch makes more balancing tweaks across the whole game, including weapons, stratagems, armour, and enemies. Some heavy enemies have had their armour reduced, while rockets fired from Devastators and Gunships have been limited. Additionally, adjustments have been made to enemy spawning, as well as targeting and vision for the Automatons, making for a fairer fight.

Performance has also been looked at, with some changes made to further optimise the game and ensure it's smoother to play.

While Arrowhead's 60-day plan to turn things around has reached its conclusion, the studio is committing to an even more transparent and collaborative relationship with the players. "As we keep building this game, we are committed to keeping the lines of communication open through regular player surveys, improved patch notes, and more frequent updates via blog posts and streams," the team writes in an update on Steam. "We will also continue to expand our closed betas, to make sure we catch valuable feedback early."

As with all live service titles, Helldivers 2 is far from done with updates and new content. We imagine things will continue to ebb and flow for a long time. For right now, though, it appears the recent changes made to the game have been received very positively, so hopefully things continue in this direction.
